Summary
About Basenji
Basenji: small, athletic African hound, 40–43 cm and 9–12 kg, with short coat, curled tail and wrinkled forehead. Often “barkless,” it yodels instead. Clean, independent, intelligent and strong-willed, it needs patient positive training, secure fencing, and regular mental and physical exercise.
About Bernedoodle
Bernedoodles are Bernese Mountain Dog–Poodle crosses, ranging from mini to large. They’re sturdy, affectionate, people‑oriented dogs with wavy or curly, low‑shedding coats needing regular grooming. Intelligent yet slow to mature, they suit active homes that avoid long periods of solitude.
